Brass construction defines the core of this Jake’s Stream-a-Lure, an American classic designed for light tackle performance in moving water. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the spinner features a weighted bullet-shaped body that provides the necessary ballast for casting. The teardrop-shaped blade is finished in a bright brass and decorated with five distinct red dots on the outer face, a signature pattern for many of Jake’s Lures models. Identified by product code 7297, this specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved surfaces on both the metal components and the treble hook. The hook is securely attached via a wire loop at the rear of the weighted body, ensuring it follows the lure straight through the current. This specific lure reflects the mid-century manufacturing standards of the USA, where durable materials were prioritized for stream and river fishing. The spinning mechanism is mounted on a straight wire shaft, a hallmark of the "Stream-a-Lure" name, ensuring the blade rotates around the central brass weight.
